Chapter 1450

Wu Ming didn’t speak, he picked up the cup and gulped down a cup of tea in one go.

Indeed, just eating steamed buns is really hard to swallow.

But, being able to come here, he didn’t mind these things.

Many people and many things are much more important than gnawing on a bun.

As long as the food could fill his stomach, it was fine.

He hadn’t even had lunch; after coming here, he was indeed starving.

Baili Xia poured him another cup of tea and, watching Wu Ming still wolfing down his food, she softly asked, “Where are you staying?”

Wu Ming didn’t look at her, taking a bite of the bun, he said blandly, “Since I’m here to protect you, of course, I’ll stay here.”

Baili Xia almost fainted, pouting, “How can you stay here, a single man and woman alone is too inconvenient!”

Thinking about the events at Hongxia Mountain last time, she still felt a bit awkward.

Though he didn’t do it on purpose, after all, he’s a normal man.

If he suddenly got a rush of blood in the middle of the night…

Perhaps, Wu Ming also realized that what he just said didn’t quite suit his identity.

He lifted his head and glanced at Baili Xia.

“I don’t want others to know I’ve come.”

Baili Xia froze for a moment, then realized why he wanted to stay here.

If the Bei Family knew Mu Xiaojiu sent Wu Ming to protect Baili Xia, they would definitely have some opinions.

They might feel that the distinguished guest coming to the Bei Family can’t even guarantee their own safety?

On the other hand, if Wu Ming was in the open, the enemy wouldn’t easily show themselves either.

Understanding this, Baili Xia no longer thought about those awkward matters.

She gently nodded, giving Wu Ming a once-over.

“In that case, I’ll go to Brother’s room to get some clothes for you to change into. He’s about the same build as you.”

Just as she was about to get up and leave, Wu Ming’s somewhat deep voice came from behind.

“You know his build so well?”

Baili Xia was suddenly stuck there.

Once she understood the meaning of his words, she suddenly felt a strong urge to bump her head against the wall.

What’s up with Wu Ming?

Jealous?

What jealousy is he feeling, did he fall for her after the last awkward incident?

Though the chance of that is basically zero.

Baili Xia sniffed, giving him a bit of a face, she got up and walked out the door.

She didn’t dare do anything to Uncle, but Wu Ming was just Uncle’s subordinate, there was nothing to fear in showing him a bit of attitude.

Anyway, he wouldn’t mind, hehe.

When Baili Xia came back with the clothes, she found that the room lights were all turned on.

She felt a wave of tension, just about to go turn off the lights when Wu Ming calmly said, “The curtains are all drawn, no one can see in.”

Baili Xia looked towards the window and sure enough, the curtains were drawn tightly.

Only then did Baili Xia let out a breath, handing the clothes to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming reached out to take Mu Xiaoyao’s clothes, didn’t say anything more, and went straight into the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, the sound of splashing water continuously came out.

Baili Xia sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the bathroom door.

She didn’t know how to get along with Wu Ming in this room.

Not to mention if someone came, he would be discovered.

But with just the two of them alone in this room, should they just sit there in silence?

That would be so awkward.

This wasn’t like when Wu Ming was training her, during training there was no need to talk, just start fighting.

Now, being together like this, doing nothing at all, she really didn’t know what to say.

Just as she was thinking, the bathroom door opened.

Wu Ming had already changed his clothes and walked out, his hair still dripping wet.

At first glance, Baili Xia really thought she was seeing Mu Xiaoyao.
